Ingredients

1 lb Italian turkey sausage (casings removed)
1/2 medium onion (finely diced)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups Marinara sauce
375 grams white high fiber penne or rigatoni pasta (or other, 4-5 cups)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, crumble and cook turkey sausage over medium-heat until just cooked.
Add onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and salt and cook, stirring often, until onion has softened - about 5 minutes.
Stir in marinara sauce and turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, removing from the heat 1-2 minutes before the cook time is up so pasta still has a slight bite to it. Drain and toss with oil to prevent from sticking.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish.
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of the dish.
Top with half of the pasta, half of the sauce, half of the ricotta (dollop it and swirl into the sauce if you desire), half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan. Repeat layers one more time to use remaining ingredients.
Cover and bake for 20-30 minutes until bubbly. Remove lid and broil for 1-2 minutes if desired.

TURKEY SAUSAGE AND PASTA TOSS

Turkey Sausage and Pasta Toss image

I like to cut out the fat in my recipes as much as I can, being a diabetic I have to watch what I eat but I do not want to cut out flavor. This is a healthy alternative to pork or beef. This is a quick one dish meal that's good and filling.
